The Maestro

Well, we met our maestro tonight. He is the same one who did "Tosca". He is not my favorite. He is from New York and is Italian heritage, so he talks with an accent and also he mumbles, so we can't hear him. He doesn't lead with a strong downbeat, so his conducting style takes some getting used to. But the Stage director is also the same one from "Tosca" and she is a dream to work with. I also can't remember her name, either. She is pretty good about standing up to Maestro. Rehearsal went well tonight, but would be better if I had the whole thing memorized. It will come.
